Chapel in the Garden

Monday is an unusual day for a wedding, but since it was a holiday for some, Bill and Regina chose this Columbus Day for their wedding at the Chapel in the Garden. It is a lovely setting for a wedding. A short rain shower forced everyone indoors for a few minutes during the picture taking after the ceremony, but it stopped as quickly as it began and the photographs on the picturesque grounds continued. Pink and black were the colors of the day. The bridesmaid and maid of honor wore pink gowns and the two flower girls were in black with pink sashes. Regina was regal in her elegant gown with a cathedral train. A reception followed on site at the tavern in the garden. Regina and Bill had laminated photos of their relationship to date and had them floating in water in tall urns on the reception tables. We had never seen this done before and it was a very personal and interesting touch. They also had crystal bells on the tables for the guests to ring to have the couple kiss, but Bill and Regina needed little coaxing. Our good friend and colleague from the Volusia Wedding Professionals, Len Pepe, did the photography and was never still for a second the entire time.
